A false report of a man with a gun caused chaos at a busy Brooklyn train station on Saturday afternoon, as terrified staphangers lost their minds — and their shoes — as they scrambled for their lives, police said.

Reports of gunfire at the Bedford Avenue L station in Williamburg were made at around 1:20 p.m., police said. But when cops arrived, they found no evidence of a shots being fired or a gun, officials said.

“I was standing and all of a sudden, the entire opposite side of the train stampeded toward my end yelling that someone had a gun,” Tamara Kraus told the Post. “Luckily we were maybe only a minute away from the Bedford stop, so once we stopped everyone was just yelling and panicking to open the doors.”

“The train doors opened and it was like a herd of animals rushing out,” Kraus said. “But people, myself included, were falling repeatedly and there were sunglasses and bags and things all on the ground. As [soon] as I saw the light outside, I was crying and so was everyone else.”

Tatiana Smith, 22, said she walked onto the train platform when suddenly, people started screaming, “Run! Run! Someone has a gun! Run!”
